From the album: Ozan Formation
Gauthieria sp., Travis Co. Campanian, Cretaceous Oct, 2022 My friend Lari gifted me the NSR guidebook and I found this name while reading through it. After some searching online it seems to match up with this urchin I found in the Austin Ozan last year. The tubercles are imperforate and crenulate. Gauthieria has been found up north in the NSR, but is extremely rare. In Austin I've found so far this compressed specimen which I sadly broke trying to extract (still kicking myself) and a smaller fragment still in my collection. I'm gonna have to make a return trip to the spot at some point and attempt to redeem myself!-

Dear Fossilforum members, I was wondering if the echinoid on this piece of matrix is indeed a Gauthieria radiata and if so, does that appoint this fossil to the lower, middle or upper Turonian? The shark tooth is a Squalicorax falcatus and the piece was found in the Ardennes departement of France. I know the age of a few locations nearby, but the age of the location where this piece is from is nowhere to be found in literature. I also am not sure if I may say where it was (it took a lot of questioning to find out where it can from haha). Therefore I hope that the echinoid perhaps could be used to appoint a specific age to it. In anycase, thank you very much for your answers, Kind regards, Sander
